Republican struggles to explain why GOP just voted to let severely mentally ill people get guns. Rep.

John Barrasso (R - WY) talks about gun regulations on CNN (Screen cap). The House of Representatives on Thursday evening voted to overturn an Obama-era rule that had been put in place to prevent people with severe mental illnesses from buying firearms. The rule, which was finalized by the Social Security Administration in December, banned Social Security beneficiaries from buying guns if their disability payments are handled by an outside party due to their “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.” Appearing on CNN Friday morning, Rep.

Videos: Clinton and Trump Fact-checks. CNN’s Jake Tapper and FactCheck.org offer two fact-checking videos this week covering claims made by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

This first video examines Trump’s false claim that John Podesta, Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman, “was quoted in WikiLeaks as saying, illegal immigrants could vote as long as they have their driver’s license.” The Podesta email in question says not one word about illegal immigrants. Nor does it say anything about encouraging voting fraud. The second video explores Clinton’s claim that she opposed a 2008 Supreme Court decision striking the Washington, D.C., handgun ban, because the city was trying “to protect toddlers from guns.” Clinton, who made that statement during the third presidential debate, didn’t initially make that distinction when she said in 2015 that “the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.”
Cruz says there’s precedent for keeping ninth Supreme Court seat empty.

The cartoonist behind Dilbert, a long-running comic strip commentary on American office culture, was once a relatively anonymous figure.

But recently, he’s made headlines with his eccentric commentary on the 2016 presidential candidates. And that, of course, has devolved into commentary on the state of sexism in America. Adams believes U.S. men are under the yokes of women, as evidenced by v-neck sweaters which are a “uniform” they are forced to wear, according to the Daily Dot.

The website cited a June 23 post on Adam’s blog, “The Humiliation of the American Male in 2016.” “Perhaps the biggest unreported story of this presidential election is the humiliation of the American male. Don’t worry about Adams, he’s on to the ploy.

</a> NBC's Chuck Todd accused House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) of putting "party over country" because Ryan continues to support Donald Trump even though he claims not to share the presumptive GOP nominee's values. "I feel like I have certain responsibilities as not just Congressman Paul Ryan from the 1st District of Wisconsin, but at Speaker of the House," Ryan opined during an interview on Sunday's Meet the Press. "And imagine the Speaker of the House not supporting the duly elected nominee of our party, therefore creating a chasm in our party to split us in half, which basically helps deny us the White House and strong majorities in Congress.
" "You just made a case though of party over country," Todd observed.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: ‘In God We Trust’ is good motto for public schools because it’s on money.

Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck argued on Wednesday that “In God We Trust” was an appropriate motto for public schools because it was printed on U.S. currency.

Last month, Principal Albert Hardison removed all references to “In God We Trust” at Ridgewood Middle School after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused Caddo Parish schools in Louisiana of violating the First Amendment. But Students with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes launched a campaign to have the words restored to the school’s sign, which they said had been there for at least 15 years. To protest, the group handed out T-shirts during lunch period featuring images of a Bible, a sword, and the hashtag “#iSTAND.”

Just hours later, the school announced that “In God We Trust” would be put back on the school sign.
Tom DeLay: People keep forgetting that God ‘wrote the Constitution’
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) this week warned Americans to remember that God “wrote the Constitution” based on the Bible.

During an appearance on John Hagee Ministries’ Global Evangelism Television (GETV) network on Wednesday, host Matt Hagee asked the Texas Republican where the country had gone wrong. “I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”

</a> While Fox News cheered on the Indiana "religious freedom" bill as a way to protect Christians, they sure don't feel the same way about a Wisconsin ordinance, pushed by the evil Freedom From Religion Foundation, which protects atheists. On this morning's Fox & Friends, we learned that this action is anti-Christian because Christians have a right to discriminate against atheists! Paragon of tolerant Christianity, Tucker Carlson reported that Madison, Wisconsin is now including atheists as a protected class. Jesus BFF, Anna Kooiman set the propaganda message in asking Fox's favorite race baiting, GOP activist, and former DOJ attorney J Christian Adams "where does this hostility come from.

Colorado Lawmaker Says Attack On Pregnant Woman Is A 'Curse Of God'
(Adds quote from lawmaker, detail of charge from local media) By Keith Coffman DENVER, March 26 (Reuters) - A Colorado lawmaker who said an attack on a woman whose unborn child was cut from her womb was a "curse of God" caused by U.S. policy on abortion was criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike on Thursday.

Louie Gohmert explodes at FCC chairman: ‘You’re playing God with the Internet!’
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story! A bombastic Rep.

Louie Gohmert (R-TX) unloaded on the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during a congressional hearing Wednesday on net neutrality. “You’re playing God with the Internet!” Gohmert shouted during testimony by FCC chair Tom Wheeler. Wheeler, appearing before Congress for the fifth time in eight days, testified that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 grants congressional authority to the FCC to enact new rules ensuring access to online content, reported National Journal. He told Gohmert – who, like other Republicans, claims that net neutrality overburdens Internet providers with government regulations – that online companies will still have freedom to experiment with new business models.

Donald Trump is a Ted Cruz birther: “You’re supposed to be born in this country”
The last time real estate investor and reality show host Donald Trump pretended he might seek the presidency, birtherism was a central plank in the platform of his faux campaign. Four years later — even after President Obama released his long-form birth certificate — Trump continues to insist that our first African American president is an illegitimate usurper born outside the U.S. So what does Trump have to say about Ted Cruz, the Canadian-born Texas senator who announced his 2016 presidential campaign today? In an interview with My Fox NY on Monday, Trump indicated that he also harbors doubts about Cruz’s eligibility to be president, asserting that the Lone Star Republican has “a hurdle that nobody else seems to have at this moment.”

“It’s a hurdle and somebody could certainly look at it very seriously,” Trump added.
Ted Cruz: I stopped liking rock music after 9/11. One day after launching his 2016 presidential campaign, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz made the rounds on the morning news shows, where he talked up his conservative credentials and his plans to rescue America from the tyranny of Nobama. During Cruz’s appearance on “CBS This Morning,” co-host Gayle King also afforded Cruz an opportunity to discuss how he occupies his time when he’s not shutting down the government or campaigning to strip gay people of their rights. The Tea Party favorite revealed that he just finished the third season of “House of Cards,” and assured viewers that Washington isn’t as murderous as the Netflix series portrays.

By David EdwardsThursday, August 7, 2014 11:34 EDT The Kansas Republican Party is distancing itself from its Kansas Republican 3rd Congressional District Committee vice chairman after he tweeted that Americans had a “duty” to use firearms to “offend” Muslims.
